Parents at the school are outraged that officials at the Alexander Macomb Elementary School did not notify them, Local 4 reported.

"I don't want my daughter to see me cry. She's only 7. I don't want her to think she did something wrong," one mother told Local 4.

Mothers of the girls have stories about the alleged assaults.

"They were watching a movie and he pulled her down," said one mother. The women did not want to be identified in order to protect their children's identities.

"The boy had pushed her on the ground and held her on the mouth and told her to pull down her pants. He said he would kill her"if she didn't do what he said," another mother said.

"If she didn't take off her shirt, he'd kill her," a third mother told Local 4.

They say their daughters were sexually fondled by the 8-year-old classmate.

The mothers allege the school and the school district didn't notify them about the incidents in a timely manner.

"I think it's really unfair that the school didn't even call me or apologize to me," one of the women told Local 4.

The superintendent of Mt. Clemens Community Schools said he will make sure all parents are notified. Dr. T.C. Wallace Jr. said the initial investigation pointed to just one victim and three witnesseses.

"Those stories have become quite fluent and have moved from witnesses to victims," Wallace said.

The students say at least two different teachers walked in on the attacks, but the superintendent said those teachers say they have not seen anything.

Mt. Clemens police are conducting a joint investigation; the mothers say there is physical evidence the girls were assaulted, Local 4 reported.
